- 2 None eggs
- 2 None egg yolks
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp finely grated lemon peel
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 5 tbsp cold unsalted butter, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream

- None None Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Whisk eggs, yolks and sugar in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan until smooth. Add lemon peel, juice and butter, whisking constantly on low heat for 5 mins, or until curd thickens. Do not allow mixture to get too hot or it will curdle.
- Transfer curd mixture to a stainless steel bowl. Place over a bowl of iced water. Stir occasionally with a whisk for 5 mins to cool to room temperature. Place curd in the freezer for 5 mins to accelerate chilling.
